Tories 'letting down working people,' says SNP over news 40% of universal credit recipients are in work
SNP MSP Neil Gray said the government must step up and raise the national minimum wage to a real living wage
THE SNP accused the Tories today of letting down working families after it was estimated that nearly 40 per cent of people in Scotland claiming universal credit are in work.
Research from the TUC found that 176,000 people in Scotland who are claiming universal credit also have a job.
The union body warned that cruel Tory plans will force hard-working families to get by on much less, and the government is “levelling down, not levelling up.”
